Number of Animals: 1760
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified
rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant
nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where waste
is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the
limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application
cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always
apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can
utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials,cation exchange capacities,and available
water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land
eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre-
cautions,waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per
acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils,when it is
raining,or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions
may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ
regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift
and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients
for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution,the
waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground
not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this
is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you
choose to inject the waste in the future,you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste are
not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage require-
ments should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste
management facility. Attached you will find information on proper
sampling techniques,preparation,and transfer of waste samples to
the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan,if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.

Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time
and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown,soil type and surface application.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers,filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated,and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may,and most likely will be,more than
the acres shown in the tables.
OTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic
,and application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be
nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent
over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production
facility will produce approximately pounds of plant
available nitrogen (PAN)per year in the sludge that will need to be
removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting
the sludge equipment,may be needed when you remove this sludge.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
waste water.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of
the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs.
This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure,
soil texture,water droplet size,and organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the
soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen
applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage
and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in
your structure be within feet of the top of the dike.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Page 5
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer signer to
ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the
acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates
and amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid
Call your Agriment Services representative for assistance in determining
the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate
prior to beginning the application of your waste.
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION: SEE ATTACHMENT

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Page 6
Plans and Specifications
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff,
drift,manmade conveyances,direct application,or direct discharge
during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which
reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of$10,000 per day by the Division
of Water Quality for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Local NRCS office must have documentation in the design folder that
the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land
to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own adequate
land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy
of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable
proximity,allowing himther the use of the land for waste application
for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an updated Waste
Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in
the number of animals,method of utilization,or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet,but not exceed,the Nitrogen
needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,available moisture,
historical data,climate conditions,and level of management, unless
there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management
System(RMS)or an Alternative Conservation System(ACS). If an ACS
is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per
year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves
the field. These filter strips will be in addition to"Buffers"
required by DEM. (See FOTG Standard 393-Filter Strips and Standard
390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it
will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When
applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland,the waste may be
broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season
prone to flooding. (See"Weather and Climate in North Carolina"in
the NRCS Technical Reference-Environment file for guidance.
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infil-
tration rate such that runoff does not occur off-site or to surface
waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during
application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions
conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils,during rainfall
event,or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a
manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would
inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should
also be considered.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Page 7
10.Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste
nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum
and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released
nutrients.Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to
planting of a crop on bare soil.
11.Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface
water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial
provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See standard
393-Filter Strips)
12.Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13.Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings
other than those owned by the landowner.
14.Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and
public right-of ways.
15.Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,drainage ways,
or wetlands by discharge or by over-spraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been
approved as a land application site by a"technical specialist".
Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge
into water courses,except when applied at agronomic rates and the
application causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16.Domestic and industrial waste from wash down facilities,showers,
toilets,sinks,etc.,shall not be discharged into the animal waste
management system.
17.Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain
a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year,
24-hour storm event in addition to one(1)foot mandatory freeboard.
18.A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on
all disturbed areas(lagoon embankments, berms,pipe runs,etc.).
If needed,special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and
and shall be fenced,as necessary to protect the vegetation.
Vegetation such as trees,shrubs,and other woody species,etc.are
limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be
kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be
inspected regularly for evidence of erosion,leakage or discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated,
the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a"closure
plan"which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge,
pollution and erosion.
20.Waste handling structures,piping, pumps, reels,etc.,should be
inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,and spills.
A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Page 8
21.Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and
other crops for direct human consumption. However,if animal waste
is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied
pre plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop
season.
22. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage(pumping volume)of all waste
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid
level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the
maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
23.Waste shall be tested within sixty days of utilization and soil shall
be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are
applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate-determining element. Zinc
and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop
sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH
and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry
waste application records shall be maintained for three years. Waste
application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five
years.
24. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North
Carolina State regulations or other States'regulations.

� edormance is shown with Taper Bore nozzles only. Distance of throw with Ringnozzles and Taper/Ringnozzles Is slightly less. Consult facto for
-complete performance details. g Y factory
The lower trajectory angles result in better wind fighting ability,but reduced throw distances. Throw reduction depends upon nozzle flow rate. In general
the throw distance fs reduced approximately 3%with each 3°drop In trajectory angle.
Performance data has been obtained under Ideal test conditions and may be adversely affected by wind,poor hydraulic entrance conditions or other
factors. Test riser height of three feet above measurement surface. No representation regarding droplet condition,uniformity,application rate or
suitability for a particular application is made herein.

OPERATION & MAINI`ENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially
important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and
wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the
receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are
extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means
that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to
a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet
periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to
irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods.
Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of
state law and subject to penalty action.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam.
Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to
maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be
based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be
done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. This should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter
the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating AM -�`
the waste. ,
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes---look for:
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall condition of pipes

Lagoon surface---look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment---look for:
1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability---slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
unddrtaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps---check for proper operation of:
1. recycling rumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of.vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some
safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height

Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon
liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below
7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm
season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are
optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained
and recharged each day, also work well.

Practice water conservation---minimize building water usage and
spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservation.
Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This
will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon
Management:
Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and
the full temporary storage level.
Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on
nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly,
irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest
point of the dam or embankment.
Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge.
Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid
surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
Niaintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is
;full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
• gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
. minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper-agitator impeller
pump through large-bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and.metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or drag-line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be
removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil-test phosphores, it
should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.

(rs, Possible Causes of Lagoon'Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types
of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the
dam..Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon structure---an example is the placement of a pipe
in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in
lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.)
Lagoon liquid levels---high levels are a safety risk.
Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
Liner integrity---protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater
table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge
of wastewater and possible dam failure.
